If the back of your hand suddenly changes like this… it's a sign of poor blood circulation.

Sometimes, the veins on the back of your hand bulge outward. This is caused by a condition called varicose veins. What causes varicose veins on the back of your hand, and how can you prevent them?

If the veins on the back of your hand are prominent, it could be a sign of poor circulation. Poor circulation causes blood to pool in the fingertips. As the veins on the back of your hand fill with blood, they may become visible and bulge outward. Numbness may also accompany this condition. It's also frequently observed in people who have lost body fat due to aging or dieting, causing the skin on the back of their hands to become thinner. Thinner skin makes it easier for veins to bulge.

Varicose veins on the back of the hand don't pose a health risk. However, if the veins are severely bulging and causing stress, surgery may be considered. This involves making a small incision over the bulging area and removing the surrounding veins. Alternatively, sclerotherapy, which involves injecting medication into the veins to shrink them, or radiofrequency or laser therapy can be used. However, it's important to note that a small scar may remain after surgery.

 

Prevention is always better than cure. To prevent varicose veins on the back of your hands, you need to prevent blood from pooling in your hands. This includes stretching your arms above your heart and regularly massaging your arms, starting from your fingertips, through the back of your hands, and toward your armpits.

 

Meanwhile, varicose veins in the lower extremities, which cause similar symptoms in the legs, require surgical treatment. Varicose veins occur when the venous valves do not close properly, causing blood that should flow to the heart to flow backward. This can have negative health consequences and requires immediate medical attention. To prevent varicose veins, avoid tight clothing and shoes that extend beyond the knees, and choose shoes that allow for easy ankle movement. It's also important to develop a habit of moving your legs frequently. Avoid standing or sitting for long periods of time, and stretch frequently to promote blood circulation.
